- I ran into a fix problem when pre assembling the 1970 Revell Plymouth Roadrunner for the USACC group build.
For the CZcams Algorithm: Revell AMT Johan Tamiya hasegawa aoshima 1/24 1/25 scale plastic model car kit
If you haven’t gotten this far with your project I suggest watching this simple fix to make your body fit better over the chassis.
I’ll be away for a couple weeks so we’ll resume this build in November.
Take care,
James - Jak na to + styl

Thanks for watching Deen. My only limits in Japan are the size of my wallet and suitcase😂. I’ll make sure to shoot video for you all.
Nice work there James, and great tips too. Even though I'm not building this kit, I followed your tips because they might come handy in other kits too. Well done 👍🏼
Thanks for watching Karl! Now that I’m back from Japan it’s time to get moving again on that project. Jan 15 will be here before I know it.

About to build this kit. Thank you so much for doing an in depth fix for this! Much appreciated!
Awesome! I’m glad to help. Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you so much for sharing this tip,I’m building the same model in a couple of weeks,now I’m sure it will be ok thanks to you 😊
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. I appreciate you.
Nice discovery. Looking good.
Thanks David! I appreciate your support 👍

Thanks Marty for watching. I appreciate you man!
Looking really good James. Safe travels on your Japan trip and if you come across any cute Japanese girls, send the cutest one my way.
Thanks bud, I already have the cutest one for myself. You can have the 2nd 👍 I appreciate the support bud.
Good to know about that interior fit issue. I’m following along to safe myself some grief as I work on mine.
Thanks for watching and commenting Lazy Eyed, I appreciate your support 👍
James, I appreciate the in-depth view on the fitment issues along with what modifications you did to the kit. This is something I do not see on other channels and think this is a good thing for you to keep doing on future videos around building kits. Have fun in the suburbs of Tokyo!
Thanks Brandon. This is an intensive one for sure… certainly not like a Tamiya kit. My pleasure sharing my friend. Take care, I appreciate your support 👍
Nice solution to the problem, James. I discovered the same issue, but haven't fixed it yet.
Thanks bud for watching👍 I appreciate your support.
Some cool fixes.
Thanks BG! I appreciate you man!
Looks good. Never thought I'd see you put so much work into an old Monogram kit.
Me either Mike! It’s a challenge to see what I can do with it but still be box stock. Thanks for watching brother😎
Thank you for sharing the solution to this problem James. Makes it a lot easier for the rest of us. Enjoy your trip to Japan buddy 😃
I love the stance by the way 🙂
Thanks so much Kim! My pleasure, I want to see everyone put out amazing models in this build off. I appreciate your support, thanks for watching.
Great video! What this group build is to me, how everyone handles the "issues" they come across.
I couldn’t agree more SoDak! I’m finding it hard to just stop modifying stuff😂. I appreciate the support bud.
@@ScaleModelExperiment Well everything you do or add I can tell makes a difference!
Thx for the tip!! Very helpful!!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching 👍
Love the attention to detail! I've never seen people make cuts in the door handles and stuff. As a newbie, your videos are really helpful. I just discovered your channel today, and I love the variety of different cars from different brands, keep up the awesome content!
Wow thank you so much Keith! I appreciate your support. Let me know which videos you like and what else you’d like to see.
@@ScaleModelExperiment Thanks for the reply! To be honest I'd watch anything you put out but your tips and tricks videos in particular have been great. I'm actually watching your video on decals and I WISH I had seen it before I messed up some poor decals 🤣. Will definitely be referring to your video when building my next model (3rd time's the charm!).
Awesome! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I never know how much detail to go into when I’m making video. Too much is boring, too little is frustrating to newer folks.
Great tip
Thanks Samuel👍 I appreciate your support!
Wow James! Thank you for the extra tips on the RR model making it better as I've said before, I have this model yet to be built. The tips would be very helpful to me. Take care and have fun visiting Japan! Take some videos of the Tamiya hobby shop for us viewers???
Thanks Ray! I most certainly will shoot video in Japan. I appreciate your support!
James thanks for showing us all these tips man!
It really does help a lot! I hope you do more of these?
How did you get those door handles like that? And
all of the cutting you did WILL make a BIG difference!
Thanks Jeff for watching. I’ve received lots of positive feedback from this video series. I will do more like this. For the door handles, I drilled tiny holes in the center and then connected the dots with a hobby knife then smoothed it all out with sandpaper.
I restart modeling since the covid after 20 years. I'm surprise to see many kit with this problem. Most of revell and Amt kit are old. Only reboxing or new decals over the years. This one originaly from 2000 and have reboxing recently.
To solve a problem llike this we need to heat the frame or use krazy Glue.
Im not sure revell with do something in the next few years to solve this problem.
My opinion
Hi Jay, thanks for watching and welcome back to the hobby. Yes this kit is an old one but wait till you see how it finishes! I’ll be done with it soon but cannot show it until 3/15.
Thank you, almost every model I have had these similar fit issues, do you always use a white glue to do test fits? Nice looking car eh?
Hi Dwight, thanks for watching. Yes, unless it’s a Tamiya model I test fit my models to make sure everything fits the way I want. I hate modifying painted parts.
What did u use to hold everything together for mock up?
Hi Jeff, I prefer to use Elmers school white glue. You have to be patient but it holds everything together well enough for test fitting. Disassembly is easy and little cleanup is needed afterwards. Try it out sometime!
Is there a way to make guide showing what needs to be done
Hi Jesse, thanks for watching. I suggest that you mock up the interior and put it into place. Mark where the window is on the door panel and duplicate what I did in the video. You’ll see immediately what I mean.
When doing a mock up like this before paint do you use glue?
Hi Fabian, yes I use Elmer’s white glue to hold the pieces together for mock-up building. It peels right off when you are ready to paint.
@@ScaleModelExperiment awesome thanks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What can I use for tint
Thanks for watching. You can either paint tint with clear smoke paint or Hasegawa sells a tint film you can apply over windows.
Have you ever built the Chrysler turbine car, wow talk about imperfections
Hi Perry, I’ve owned and sold that kit. That’s a lot of work to build that kit nicely 😂
👋😎👍
Thanks Junior! I appreciate you watching and commenting👍
Does this kit seem out of scale to you ? Like maybe 1/22 and not 1/24
Hi Robert, thanks for watching👍. Yes it is friggin huge!
@@ScaleModelExperiment it's a nice kit but doesn't look well sitting next to my other kits
Haha, it’ll need a whole shelf of its own when I finish it.
